Gov. llnrtrnnft linng-i firo on tho new Il
eum; law. Let him como up 1 ike n man and
cither sign or veto it lie will hnvo to do
ono or tho other before tho 18th of April, or
plead tho baby act by permitting it to be
como n law at that time without his signa
ture. Gen. Spinner, tho Treasurer of tho I'lilted
States, has at length really resigned, des
patches wiy. He h ono of the grannies that
wcro so firmly fastened upon tho government
that there was little hope of ever getting rid
of lilin. Gen. Ilristow, however, the Secre
tary of tho Treasury, made him nttend to
his business, which lias driven him to retire
ment. The Supremo court of tho United States
linn decided that "tho Constitution of the
United States does not confer the right of
sullrago upon any one, and th it tho Consti
tutions of tho several States which commit
that trust to men alone aro not necessarily
void," Women, therefore, cannot vote un
less directly authorised to do so by St.ito
laws.
Tho Supremo Court has decided unconsti
tutional tho law limiting the damages which
may be collected from railroad companies
for personal injury to passengers to $!!,000.
Tho case, on which the court rendered its
decision arovs under the old constitution.
Tho present constitution prohibits any such
limitation of damages by the legislature.
A speech in the Federal Senate by Sena
tor Wallace is highly spoken of by Wash
ington correspondents and newspapers gen
erally. It was vigorous and logical in argu
ment, and noted tor tho conciseness which
distinguishes tho new Senator. The personal
impression made by Jlr. Wallace upon his
colleagues was most favorable. Of course
no amount of reasoning would have any ef
fect upon tho votes of Senators. Grant's
threats and offers had settled that business.
Alter a most expensive and vexatious con
test of a year and half, the Supreme court
has awarded the Prothonotaryship of Luzerne
CDunty to Dr. S. W. Trimmer, the Democrat
ic candidato in 1873. Of his election by a
majority of legal votes there never was any
doubt, but the constantly occurring Scranton
frauds and tho delays of tho law have until
within a few days past prevented the desires
of the people from being carried out. In
tentional fraud at elections ought to be made
a penitentiary offence and this would laud a
considerable portion of the population of
boranton in tlinfc iiidUtutiau.
The false statements of tho telegraphic des
patchesin the Philadelphia and New York
papers about tho floods and condition of tho
ico in the North and West Branches of the
Susquehanna are amusing to thoso who
laugh at folly, but immensely disgusting to
those who dispiso causeless exaggeration
Tho Williamsport Gazelle it Jlulktiii thus
hits off one of them :
The New York Herald is beinsr furnished
with dispatches from Lock Haven by some
one who is not adapted to tho business of
lying; ho lies too outrageously even for the
Jjcrald, antl altogether too much to make
lying a success.
As tho Gazette & Bulletin is master of the
situation we accept its conclusion.
Tho Columbian is mistaken in saying that
postago stamps are furnished Members of
Congress. All tho other departments of the
government, however, are lullysupplieil with
these Mnmps, Congressmen paid postage on
everything they sent through the mails.
Perry Co. Democrat,
As the editor of the Perry county Democrat
was himself a member of the late Congress,
ho of courss knows whereof bespeaks. For
twenty years past we lwvo been firmly fixed
in the notion that nothing po.-siblo to hap
pen under tho sun could surprise us, but we
are disposed to give it up after being reliably
informed that Congress provided for tho pay
ment of the pot-tage of all other officials at
tho Federal capital except thnt of its own
members 1 We are happy to give it a credit
mark.
The question as to whether "Good Friday"
is a legal holiday has been decided affirma
tively by Attorney General Dimmick. Al
though his decision came too late for practi
cal effect this year It is in tlmo for" hereafter,
provided there is no legislative interference.
Tho day is observed as a religious holiday
by tho Catholic and Episcopal churches,
and also to some extent by the Lutherans
and others. Generally, however, outside the
largo cities, not much regard is paid to it.
In the largo cities tho churches formally re
gard it, but business is (suspended by but
comparatively few.
In tome localities good Friday is believed
to be the best of all days in tho year upon
which to sow llax. Probably, however, not
much was put into lho ground this year on
that day.
,
Certain government detectives aro just
now filling the papers with sensational des
patches about the arrest of Joe. Lawnsbury,
formerly of Clearfield county, for shooting
un assistant provost marshal in 18G4, who
attempted to arrest him for not reporting
after being drafted. His house, was entered
at 12 o'clock at night, when he jumped from
his bed and fired at a person coming up the
stairs. Tho shut struck Col, Ilutler, who
died the next day. Lawnsbury kept out of
tho way for pome time, but voted in Clear
field borough at the following election, He
afterwa ds resided at Emporium, In an ad
joining county, and at Harrisburg. Some
years ago he moved to English "Ceuire, Ly
coming county, whero ho purchased a farm,
tho papers in connection therewith being
placed on record at Wlllianispoit. Under
thcM) circumstances it is difficult to under
stand why bin arrest is an achievement to be
bragged ubout. As to his guilty intention
there is no reliable information. As to tho
gab about "disloyalty" in Clearfield county,
wo are familiar with the character of its
people and do not believo there is a county
in the State where genuine patriotism more
generally prcvalU.
Lawnsbury has been taken to Pittsburgh
for trial before h. Federal court, and will
probably bo convicted without much refer-1
nice to his guilt or innocence.
Next Governor.
In discussing tho probabilities of tho No
vember election tho Erie Observer thus refers
to Hon. Win. A. Galbralth.of that city, who
is ono of tho fittest nmt most available of
candidates yet suggested for nomination by
tho Democracy :
It is duo Mr. Oidbralth to state, that al
though he has bicn strongly urged from
many directions to dlowthc use of Tils name,
ho is not mill will not bo a candidate In tho
sene of seeking after tin, nomination. Whllo
hewmild feel complimented bv tho honor,
mill would not decline the eandldacv If of
fered to him, he Is moU decided in the de
termination not to make tho slightest move
inconsistent with his Idea that tho office
should hunt the man and not tho man the
olllee. Whether his nomination could bo
regarded ns among tho probabilities after
this declaration, depends much upon tho
shape that political matters assume by tho
tlmo the Convention assembles.
Wo have a liking for candidates who do
not thrust themselves forward, and yet are
not overly ready with positive declinations,
but leave their party friends to select tho
best, tho fittest and mst available, cspec
miiy wiicn as in tins state tuero is every
prospect of a close contest. Mr. Galbralth
is a gonttynati of great nbllity and modest
worth, not an olfico seeker, but ono of tho
most earnest and devoted advocates of Dem
ocratic principles in tho State, and withal a
man of extraordinary popularity in tho re
gion of tho State whero ho is best known.
Tho party will bo tortunato If it obtain so
strong n candidate.
M my are urging tho nomination of Gen.
Hancock, as preliminary to his election to
tho Presidency. It Is argued that his lioml
nation for Governor would certainly result
in his election, and that tho man who could
carry Pennsylvania would bo sure to be nom
inated ami elected President. There is forco
in the position, and thero would bo especial
propriety and justico in making Hancock
the successor of Grant. Wo have no very
exalted Idea of mero military candidates, but
Gen. Hancock has heretofore proven himself
a statesman of high order, as well as the
most brilliant General of the time.
Numerous other candidates nro being sue-
gested who am not likely to be pressed. We
have thus far noticed all who have been
named and aro likelv to become prominent.
lho futuro will no doubt developo others.
Couldn't Pay.
When the Legislature adjourned the mem
bers were obliged to go homo without their
pay, the Treasurer, Mr. Mackey, asserting
that ho has no money to pay them with.
This seems a little strange, considering tho
fact that Gov. Hartrauft, in his message,
stated that there was over u million dol
lars in tho Treasury. What has Mr. Mackey
done with tho money 1 Has he paid it out
for tho legitimate purpose of tho Stato Gov
ernment, or has ho used it for the benefit of
himself and friends, as in the case of George
O. Evans, of addition, division and silence
fame ?
Never before has a legislature adjourned
without being able to get their pay. The
Radicals havo had control of the Treasury
now for a kug time, but, notwithstanding
their extravagance and rascality, they havo
always managed to save enough money to
pay off tho members of the Senate and
House, until tho present year. This is prob
ably accounted for by the fact that this k
the first Democratic House there has been
for years, and it was a smart little revenge
for their threats of investigation into the sc-
crets of the Treasury to deprive them of thei
pay for the time being Had there been a
Radical majority in tho Legislature, there
would havo been no complaints of "no
money" to pay them with, but as thero was
not, the poverty of the Treasury baa sudden
ly become apparent.
Well, well this thing of having plenty of
money on certain occasions and none on
others is pretty nearly played out. That fi
nancial department will be tureed over to a
Democratic Treasurer alter next fall's elec-
tion, and then there will bo money in the
Treasury or the public will know the reason
why. JieUefonte Watchman.
Tho Civil Rights Abortion.
Judge Emmons, a Judgo of a U. S. District
court in Tennessee, who was appointed by
President Grant, recently instructed a grand
jury that the Civil Rights, (negro equality)
bill is unconstitutional and that therefore no
indictments could be found under it. He
says that previous to the adoption of the last
imcndments nobody pretended that Con
gross could interfere with the States in the
regulation of such matters, and that these
amendments do not confer the power. The
question will no doubt be carried to the Su
a e rr I i r.. . s
preinc conn. 01 me uniieu mates.
No less a personago than lien. Sutler, the
author ef the act, is out with a letter in
which ho says tho bill is not operative upon
saloons or barber shops, or upon any private
business, except pnblic conveyances, then
tres, hotels, &c Tho latter not being re'
quired to fcell liquor to any body may of
course sell only to whom they please.
In some of the States special laws have
been passed, designed to defeat the harsh op
eratioti of the bill, by expressly permitting
hotel keepers, steamboat and other common
carriers, theatres, &c, to supply upocial quar-
ters to persons who may be offensive to oth
er guesta or travelers, without mentioning
the subject of color.
These facts, together with tho important
one that public opinion every where is de-
cidedly averse to tho law, will render tho
Civil Rights blllimpossibloof cxecutionand
a clead letter upou the statute book. Like
other Radical legislation it is a nuisance, the
the very cap sheaf of uuisances. Feople will
always find oaw way of avoiding repuhdve
association, and even tho most sensible no
crocs will shun encounter with those to
whom their prcsoucc is objectionable. White
men act upon that principle in thcirassocia-
tions as u rule and so do the negroes in their
intercourse with each other. What Is prop
er in voluntary action can not be uprootod
by Congressional enactments.
Ohio Politics.
It now looks as though the Hon. Den.
Franklin Wado would be the next candi
date of tho Graut party for Governor of
Ohio, while old Hill. Allen, tho present in
cumbent, is sure of tho Democratic nomina
tion, The united ages of these venerable
war horses may be calculated at something
lke two centuries and n half, but precise
statistics are lacking. Allen baa the great
est voice in tho State of Ohio, and Wide is
tho hardest swearer. Ohio will bo the first
battlo ground for the uext Presidential elec
tion and both parties will put forth extraor
dinary exertions to carry it, Thepartiea are
pretty nearly equally divided, and Wade and
Allen aro good representatives of the two
parties. Tho election will will bolbeW'ln
October The Radicals are already arrang
ing to scud the best men ef their party into
the State, and the Democrats will loso no
time in doing the same. Ex.
The Connecticut election is to take place
on Monday next. A Governor, a full State
ticket, four members of Congress and a Leg
islate are to be elected. The Stato la a

waking all possible effort to carry it, and

JMCOLTJMBIAJST ANP DEMOCRAT,
Devious ami Curious.
Joo. Brooks wa, tho Greeley candidate for
Governor of Arkansas In 1872. Ho claimed
to bo elected by a largo majority, and no doubt
was. Hut tho Kail lea W wanted tho vote of
the State for Grant, and having tho majority
in Congress, eouiitcd it for him This ren
dered It necessary to dccldo that Baxter, tho
Grant candidato, was elected Governor, Tho
latter was in possesion and refined to glvo
up. Brooks appealed to tho courts, which
elded In his favor. Both parties took up
arms and besieged tho capitol. Grant Issued
proclamation declaring Brooks and hW
army "violent ana disorderly persons,' and
commanding them to disperse within five
days. They skedaddled, and that was tho
last of the fuss for soma time. During the
peaco a new Legislature was elected, a con
vention was unanimously called to form a
now Constitution, whoso tabors wcro approv
ed by thopcoplobyan almostunanlmous vote.
A new Governor was elected, receiving nearly
nil tho votesof tho people, lie was Inaugurat
ed, and peaco and qittctness reigned supreme.
Suddenly Brooks appeared nt Washington,
and asserting that tho peoplo not having
acted entirely with technical logatily, claim
ed still to bo Governor. Tho Radicals in
Congress appointed n committee of investi
gation, who reported with only one dissent-
ng volco that order and quiet existed, that
the peoplo were well satisfied with their
government and Brooks had no reasonable
claim. Grant then suddenly and to the as
tonishment of friends and foes, issued a mes
sage declaring Brooks Governor. Congress
snubbed him, and tho House by an over
whelming majority directed him not to in
terfere. That ended tho business.
But at tho tail end of tho extra session of
tho Senato wo havo a ludicrous addenda.
Tho Greeley candidate for Governor in 1872
Is suddenly discovered to bo a friend ol
Grant, who appoints him Postmaster at Lit-
tlo Rock, the capital of Arkansas! Thero is a
fall in ambitions pretensions, from Governor
to Postmaster from a Greeley leader of
hosta to a Grant lick-spittle from n marshal
of the people to a bcKKar for crumbs 1 But
thero is deviltry in it, and tho peoplo will
find it out one of these days. Of courso nil
the correspondence of the Stato and election
returns will have to pass through the Little
Rock post-office. Are these official papers to
bo subjected to systematic espionago and
manipulation there? Time will tell what
this curious bargain was made for.
Revival of Business.
In all tho large cities and trade centres
business looks most cheerinc A writer in
tho Reading Gazette says :
The cheerfulness of tho business out-look
is commented upon by all the leading jour
nals of tho various branches of trade. Tho
Xalion, which is remarkable for tho cau
tiousncss of ita expressions, is confident that
the depressing effects of the panic arc at hut
substantially over, and that with the growtli
of the spring, thero is to be a general revi
val in business. The Chicago Tribune has
been interviewing thediffercntbusiness firms
in that city, and repcrts a very flattering
prospect in all branches of trade, and it says
its report can be relied upon as authorita
tive, it being obtained in person. The Troy
limes gives an account of tho status of tho
various manufacturing nnd commercial in
terests there, which shows a decidedly im
proved prospect for tho opening season in
both branches of industry. Tho Boston
Globe says the indications on all sides aro
that the general trade of that city is much
better than it was a year ago this tunc, and
that no doubt with the advent of mild, set
tled weather, merchants will experience t
fair Spring trade. Tho general merchan
dise markets, from week to week, show a de
cided tendency for the better. It is predict
ed that the first of April, which is so largely
a settlement day throughout New Hngland,
will usher in a period of great activity in
that section. In several of the towns of
Massachusetts factories aro reported as run
ning on extra time. The Pittsburg Commer
cial says that in the West tho farmers nro in
a much better condition than was generally,
supposed, while the reports of many of the
railroads of that section show increased earn
ings. In New York tho Spring trade is re
ported to bo progressing favorably now in
all directions. The various forwarding lines
coastwise have as much freight as they can
conveniently handle. With Jlie Eastern
States the free movement of merchandise is
particularly noticeable. Largo quantities of
manufactured goods are also arriving, both
by steamer and rail. The-Savannah, Charles
ton, and New Orleans steamers also report
increasing business, and tho roduce markets
also foreshadow tho return of more active
times. A largo exportation of wheat du
ring the spring and summer is expected from
nearly all sections, which will necessarily
stimulato business of all kinds. There is
enough of everything now, except confidence
and everybody should lend a hand to en
courage its growth.
Fortunes or the Presidents.
Washington left an estate worth nearly
?300,000.
The elder Adams left a moderato fortune
at his death.
Jefferson died comparatively poor. If
Jongrcss had not purchased his library at
$20,000 ho would with difficulty have kept
out of bankruptcy at the close of his life.
Madison saved his money and was com
parativcly rich. The fortuno of his widow
was increased by tho purchase of his manu
script papers by Congress for $30,000. "
James Monroe, the sixth president, died so
poor that he was buried at the expense of
his relatives, in the cemetery between Sec
ond and Third streets, near the Bowery of
New York city.
John Qulncy Adams left about $.10 ,000,
the result of Industry, prudence, and a small
Inheritance. Ho was methodical and ceo
nomlcal.
Andrew Jackson left a valuable estate,
known as the Hermitage, about twelve miles
from Nashvllo, Tennessee.
Martin Van Buren died rich. His estate
was estimated at nearly $300,000.
James K. I'oflc left about about $160,000.
John Tyler was a bankrupt when he be
came President, Ho husbanded his moans
while in office, married a rich wife, and
died wealthy in worldly fortune.
JCachary Taylor left about $160,000.
Millard Fillmore died a wealthy man.
Franklin Pierce saved about 176,000 du
ring his term of service as President.
James Buchanan died a bachelor, and left
an estate valued at $200,000 at least.
Abraham Lincoln left about $75,000 al
though poor when elected.
Andrew Johnson had saved ubout $30,000
at the close of his Presidential term as resi
due of salary, deposited it with Jay Cooke
& Co,, and lost it.
President Grant is estimated to'b'e worth
upward of a million.

The Itnco Dying Out.
The mortality among the negroes in the
Southern States since tiieir emancipation is
something fearful to contemplate. In the
Carolinns tho dentil rate, especially among
children, is startling. In the District of Co
lumbin, the mortality among whites is 17.1)0
to tho 1000 of population per annum, while
among the colored people the average is
(53.70 per 1000. In nearly all parts of the
South the number of deaths from sickness
among the negroes is so much greater than
it was during tho days of slavery thnt it ex
cites contiderablo remark and discussion
among the friends: of the colored race. In
the U. S. army the ratio of sickness among
the blacks is much greater than among the
white soldiers, rrom present indication
the colored race will be likely to die out
oven more quickly than the Indians, unless
some means can be devised to check thu
mortality among them. Sonic of the phil
nnthropists who havo heretofore taken so
much interest in their welfare should inves
tigate tho matter, or the time may come
when the taunt of some old-time slave-holders
that the "Yankee race only wished to de
stroy tho negroes by emancipation to make
room for white labor," will be repeated with
some appearance ol truth. Ecahanne.
Radical Discovery of Governor lkirlranl't's
Menu.
The Republican papers, as if in conceit
have jut discovered that Mr. John E. Hart
rauft has been a most remarkably good Gov
ernor and that he has lately ncqujred great
popularity. How it conies that' they have
just discovered tills state of circumstances
they do not inform their readers. , That his
name is attached to some vicious legislation
can readily bo established, ,thn"t lie has been
the protector, promoter and rcoipient.of sal
ary grabbing there is abundant record, and
that ho has refused to furnish tho legisla
ture with important information regarding
the ring Treasury manipulation by which
three millions wero improperly added to the
State debt, although requested by tho House
more than a year ago to transmit the facts to
it, is nlso suggestive of tho character of his
efficiency as Governor. His case will be
taken up in duo time, when the peoplo will
see what aro his merits as Governor.
Tho Lite adjournment of the Legislature
was not characterised by the disgusting
flummery indulged in by the Radical Legis
latures of past years, the presentation of sil
ver services, gold watches, Ac, paid for by
money stolen from the contingent fund but
palmed upon tho public as presents in token
of deep feeling for duties honorably discharg
ed Tho Democratic House sijimdud the
business, which compelled the fx-nnte to
touch it but lightly.
The House, however, indulged tho meek
and lowly but always commendable spirit of
forgiveness and freely pardoned Wolfe of
Union, for insults to tho body, Ho was no
doubt punished sufficiently to prevent such
action in tho future, and that is all tho pub
lic care any thing about. Ho made a tear
ful speeeh in response, hut his friends say ho
retracted nothing. Of course not H takes a
man of great heart and strong nerve to ac
knowledge error that involved good milliners
and common decency. The broad fact still
stands, that an official assembly, a Legisla
ture, is not n good place In which to display
vulgarity.
The question does "Prohibition prohibit?"
lias just been answered negatively in .Massa
chusetts by the repeal of the law which Was
stood on tho statute books for seven year'.
That the system was nn entire failure from
tho first, was admitted even by tho strong
est friends of total abstinence, Whiskey did
not fluw ns freely in Boston perhaps as It
does in Philadelphia or New York, but its
procurement was an easy matter, The con
stabulary which was created for Its enforce
ment developed Into nn unpopular, inquisi
torial and corrupt machine, and a burden
upon tho tax payers. Tho repoal of tho law
was, therefore, dictated for a variety of rea
sons, not the least of which wasa moral one.
And thus Maine becomes entitled to the dis
tinction of being the only Stato of the
Union in which "freo mm" is notpermltted,
